Mort Sahl just passed. This also (almost) fits in the old "people who are still alive that you thought were dead" thread. I was kinda stunned to find out he was still alive until, like, yesterday. Dude was 94. Hell of a run. Plenty of people in the hereafter you haven't offended yet, so get busy bub...

Einár, Swedish rapper, shot dead. 19 years old.

My mother. As peacefully and as perfectly as you could ever wish for. A deeply humbling moment, and I was fortunate to arrive in time to talk her through it.

Side-laugh: I put her preferred oldies station on through the evening. The instant I put it on, Staying Alive started.

I am so sorry.

My father died two years ago, and this is exactly how I remember his passing. “A deeply humbling moment”. It was sad but somehow relieving to see him go in such a peaceful way.

Damn, A_Man_Who_Tries, you have my condolences. Peace.

Cheers.

Whenever I take my leave, mods here have my permission to change me to A_Man_Who_Dies. I insist.

I am sad to hear that, but glad you made it back in time. Many condolences and the best to you and all close.

this is heartbreaking man_who_tries,

grief is rarely linear going directly from denial to anger to bargain etc.. give yourself time to process riding out the pain during these stages as they cycle and throughout this be kind to yourself, really give yourself the sympathy and sentiments you'd give any of us and direct it inward .. im praying for you, and if your name ever changes, we will only allow you to be known as man_who_succeeded

Any plans?

Well, she left a list of four songs... *looks* ...I want to be cremated....

By The Ramones?

I'm very sorry, AMWT.
